BEFORE YOU BUY Your iPhone or iPad and TV must be on the same local network. Allow Local Network access, keep your TV on for first-time setup, and approve pairing on the TV. Some TVs require network control to be enabled in their settings. Guest Wi-Fi or network isolation can prevent discovery and control. Available buttons, app lists, input selection, and power-on vary by model, firmware, current TV app, and standby settings. Waking a sleeping TV is not guaranteed. Shield volume and connected-TV power depend on HDMI-CEC. The touchpad sends directional steps. Compatible LG webOS TVs also support pointer controls. SofaPilot does not provide voice search, screen mirroring, media casting, or infrared control. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No advertising, tracking SDK, or developer-operated cloud service. Pairing credentials stay in the device Keychain. A clearly labeled demo mode lets you explore the interface without sending TV commands. SofaPilot is an independent app and is not affiliated with or endorsed by the listed TV or streaming-device manufacturers. See the support page for setup help and compatibility details.
